The Iloilo Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office conducted an inventory of Manual Rain Gauges as part of the province’s ongoing flood monitoring initiatives. The PDRRMO assessed the current state of MRGs in several municipalities, including Calinog, Lambunao, Janiuay, and Maasin.
The findings revealed that some rain gauges, particularly those in Calinog, were not functioning properly. This highlighted the need for additional rain gauges in strategic areas of various towns to ensure accurate and comprehensive flood monitoring. In Lambunao, the local government unit transitioned to more advanced, automated solutions. The LGU installed an automated water-level sensor at the Agsirab Bridge, which provides real-time data for better flood management and early warning systems.
The results of this inventory will guide the PDRRMO in its next steps, which include procuring and installing additional MRGs and expanding the local communication system to ensure a quicker response during disasters. By strengthening these monitoring systems, the province aims to safeguard its communities and minimize the impact of flooding and other weather-related hazards.
